  4. Abstract:
  5. Catalytic activity of carbon/Pt nanoparticles modified TiO 2 nanotubes electrode was studied by using dopamine contained solutions. The TiO 2 nanotubes electrode was prepared using anodizing method in aqueous solution. The electrochemical pulse method was then applied for electrodeposition of Pt nanoparticles onto the TiO 2 nanotubes. Further modification was achieved by decomposition of polyethylene glycol in a tube furnace to have a carbon/Pt nanoparticles modified TiO 2 nanotubes electrode. The final modified electrode could successfully detect the electro-oxidation of dopamine in a ImM contained solution using cyclic voltametry method. Also, a high sensitivity towards the oxidation of dopamine in a phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.00) was achieved using the carbon/Pt TiO 2 nanotubes electrode. The electro-oxidation currents of dopamine were linearly related to the concentration in range of 1.0×10 -6 to 3.5×10 -5M. Furthermore, the modified electrode could directly distinguish the oxidation response of dopamine, ascorbic acid and uric acid in their simultaneous presence
